<h3 style="margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:10px;"><span><span>Wireless Internet Access</span></span></h3>
<p style="margin-top:3px;"><img style="float:right;" src="http://www.evpl.org/services/laptops/wifi.jpg" alt="Wireless Internet Access" width="131" height="150" />Wireless internet access (aka Wi-Fi) is available for free at all locations.&nbsp; If your laptop has a wireless network card (odds are that it does), you&#39;ll simply need to enable it and connect to the &quot;evpl-public&quot; network.</p>
<p>Wireless internet access&nbsp;is compatible with Windows &amp; Mac laptops, and most portable devices containing a Wi-Fi radio&nbsp;(such as cellphones, PDAs, etc).&nbsp; Check out our <a href="http://www.evpl.org/services/laptops/wifi/" target="_blank">Wireless Internet Access page</a> for step-by-step instructions on connecting with your specific operating system.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 style="margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:10px;"><span><span>Wired Internet Access</span></span></h3>
<p style="margin-top:3px;">If your laptop doesn&#39;t have wireless capabilities, wired internet access is also available at all locations.&nbsp; Bring an ethernet cable with you and ask a staff member for assistance.&nbsp; Wired internet access is compatible with Windows &amp; Mac laptops.</p>

<h3 style="margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:10px;"><span><span>Laptop Printing <img style="vertical-align:bottom;" src="http://www.evpl.org/images/new.gif" alt="New!" width="21" height="9" /></span></span></h3>
<p style="margin-top:3px;"><img style="float:right;" src="http://www.evpl.org/services/laptops/laptopPrinting.jpg" alt="Laptop Printing" width="150" height="150" />A service we just recently added, laptop users can now print to library printers while at any EVPL location!&nbsp; By running a small print client from our website, library printers at the user&#39;s current location&nbsp;will appear on their laptop just like locally-connected printers would.&nbsp; Upon printing from the laptop, the print job can be paid for &amp; retrieved from any Print Release Station at the user&#39;s current location.</p>
<p>Laptop printing is compatible with Windows laptops; Mac compatibility is not available.&nbsp; Check out our <a href="http://www.evpl.org/services/laptops/printing/" target="_blank">Laptop Printing page</a> for step-by-step instructions on&nbsp;using the Mobile Print Client on&nbsp;your laptop.&nbsp; As the Mobile Print Client is only available on <strong>personal laptops used within the library</strong>, the &quot;Launch Mobile Print Client&quot; button is purposely disabled on all other computers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With the increasing popularity of laptops, netbooks, and other connected portable devices, we&#39;re pleased to offer these connectivity options to our users.&nbsp; If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please post them in the comments section below!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://evpl.org/community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1451" width="1" height="1">internettechnologyfyievpl.orgcomputersmp3 playersmactutorialselectronicsiphonewi-fiprinting
